I gave the computer hours to analyze and also
got forward and backward later but in most cases going forward and backward did
not change the move that the computer suggested.

My choice was mainly to which program to believe and in rare cases I also
changed the move.

There was one case when I chose not to believe Deep Fritz based on analyzing
forward and I chose a move of gandalf4.32h.

My guess is that a computer could get 5/8 in the israeli championship and today
the software and hardware is better.
